SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media

-When the scale of the fire is small, use a HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) clean-agent fire extinguisher or alcohol resistant foam fire

extinguishers. (In case of battery overheating, wear protective gear and immerse heated battery in water)

- In case of large fire, use large amount of water to extinguish.

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

-The ignited battery has a high temperature, so there is a risk of additional ignition even if the fire is extinguished at early stage.

Sprinkle a large amount of water until the battery temperature drops to normal temperature.

-If the battery is ignited in multi-stacked condition, multi-stack should be disassembled and then extinguished so that heat is not

transferred between batteries

- Boehmite (Al(OH)O) : No reproduction, breeding and early post-natal developmental toxicity was observed in rats at 1000 mg/kg

body weight for males and females.(OECD Guideline 422, GLP)

- Carbon black : No adverse effects on the reproductive function are expected.(OECD TG 414)

- Chromium : In the 90 days inhalation toxicity study using rat, there were no effects on clinical signs, mortality.(OECD TG 413)

- Ethylbenzene : There were no adverse effects on reproductive or developmental endpoints at dose levels up to 500 ppm EB in this

guideline two-generation rat inhalation study. OECD TG 416, GLP); Results of prenatal Developmental Toxicity tests for rats, litter

size was comparable between the treated and control dose groups, while a statistically significant dose-related reduction in fetal

weights were noted in the 1000 and 2000 ppm dose groups. Visceral malformations occurred in one or few fetuses from the 100, 1000

and 2000 ppm exposure groups, without a clear dose relationship and no statistical significance. NOAEC = 2000ppm (OECD

Guideline 414)

Specific target organ toxicity (single exposure) :

- Fe : If inhaled, iron is a local irritant to the lung and gastrointestinal tract.

- Copper : All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period and there were no abnormalities noted at necropsy.

(OECD TG 423, GLP)

- Aluminum : In test using rats, Clinical signs of depression, laboured respiration, piloerection and hunched appearance was noted at

the highest dose 15900 mg/kg. Macroscopic examination at the end of the observation period did not reveal any aluminium-related

changes of the internal organs of the aluminium treated animals compared to the control group. (OECD TG 401)(Fumed alumina;

read across)

- Lithium hexafluorophosphate(1-) : Clinical signs observed during the study period were lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated

movements, piloerection at 300 mg/kg, hunched posture, piloerection at 50 mg/kg. The surviving animals had recovered from the

symptoms by Day 3.(OECD Guideline 423, GLP)

- Polyethylene : No test substance-related toxic effects were observed in an acute oral toxicity study with rats.

-Carbon black : No effect on endothelins or blood pressure was observed after exposure to carbon black. There were also no effects on

body temperature and activity of the animals.

- Nickel; Raney nickel : In the acute oral toxicity using rat, there were no effects on clinical signs, systemic toxicity.(OECD Guideline

401, GLP)

substance, and lasted about 8 hours. (OECD TG 420, GLP)

- Ethylbenzene : In acute oral, inhalation, dermal toxicity study with rats, adverse effects were not observed related to acute toxicity.

Specific target organ toxicity (repeat exposure) :

- Fe : Rats were exposed to metallic iron as carbonyl iron via their feed (2.5%) for 2, 4, 6, or 9 weeks. This resulted in a strong

increase of non-heme iron in the liver and clear lipid peroxidation in the liver and the mucosa of the duodenum. No evidence for

DNA breakage were found. What follows is the original abstract of the publication. (carbonyl iron)

- Copper : In test with rats for 92 days, there were no mortalities or signs of clinical toxicity observed in any of the test species during

the duration of the study. Opthalmoscopic examinations revealed no abnormalities at any dose level tested. At gross pathology,

significant decreases in heart and kidney weight were noted in the high dose males in the thymus and kidneys of high dose females.

(GLP)

- Aluminum : On occasion workers chronically exposed to aluminum-containing dusts or fumes have developed severe pulmonary

reactions including fibrosis, emphysema and pneumothorax.

- Lithium hexafluorophosphate(1-) : According to expert review of fluoride intake and effects on human health, fluoride intake in

drinking water at levels close to or above 4 mg/l is associated with dental fluorosis and perhaps also bone fluorosis and/or

weakening.; Damage to dental enamel recorded: especially notable in young animals, which also showed atrophy of respiratory

organs/tissues with local oedema of bronchial mucosa. Older animals showed peribronchial hyperplasia. Animals around 1 year in

age showed cavity formation in their bones.(Information on major hydrolysis product of the registered substance (released rapidly on

contact with water/moisture))(OECD Guideline 412)

- Polyethylene : No significant adverse effects were observed in subchronic (90-day) oral toxicity study with rats and dogs.

- Boehmite (Al(OH)O) : There were no clear clinical signs or observations during necropsy which could be related to the

treatment.(OECD Guideline 408, GLP), Intratracheal injection of aluminium powder caused nodular pulmonary fibrosis in the lungs

of the rats only at the highest dose administered (100 mg).(OECD Guideline 413)

- Carbon black : Mice were continuously fed various types of carbon black in massive quantities (10% in diet) for 12 to 18 months.

This led to no detectable changes from the normal in the organs and tissues of the mice fed.

- Nickel; Raney nickel : In nickel plating industry, exposure to nickel containing vapors has been reported to be assoc with asthma.
